To XBR Or Not To XBR

June 9th, 2008

Yes, Sony has a great tv out right now but it’s not the best like everyone thinks it is.  Sharp has stepped up with their new AQUOS television.  Compared to the Sony, the pixel response time is cut in half!  Though very similar in features, this simingly small feature by Sharp provides a distinct advantage.  Thus providing a better set overall.  So yes, Sony has finally been beat, and by Sharp of all companies.  Who would have thunk it!?

Why Blu-ray Won the Format War

June 2nd, 2008

Blu-ray has won!  A few simple points are to thank.  It all really started with a different war and still on-going battle.  The Sony Playstation 3 and the Microsoft XBOX 360 both promised support of next generation video playback.  Only one console came through and fullfilled that promise.  If you did’nt already know, PS3 supports Blu-ray and the Xbox supported HD-DVD but never incorporated format playback into their system as the PS3 did but at a price.  The Xbox console released at a cheaper price of around 400 dollars while the PS3 released at an unattractable price of around 600 dollars.  This price difference originally kept the format war at a fairly even pace.  Another contributing factor into the HD-DVD’s demise was when Sony announced their price drop to bring the once 600 dollar PS3 down to 400 dollars to compete with Microsoft’s monster console.  Once that announcement was released along with attractive game release announcements, people became more and more attracted to the PS3 and no longer assumed that it was just an overpriced piece of shiz.  Thus the true birth of the Blu-ray formats supremecy.  The final nail hammered into the coffin was Toshiba’s realization of a dying HD-DVD format.  Toshiba, who manufactured most of the HD-DVD players, ceased production of the players in a fear of losing millions because of the inferiority of HD-DVD and consumer preference of Blu-ray.  And that folks is a the long and short of the war and are’nt we all glad that something so great was able to get a chance to shine in all of our lives.
